Moving house with children in Rochdale

Keep one room simple for children and do the school admin before the first morning.

Furniture and boxes inside a van

Moving with children is easier when one room works on the first night and the school knows the new address. For a house move, pack their bedtime things in a bag that stays with you, not in a random carton. Tell them which room will be theirs, even if the boxes are not unpacked.

On the day, keep children off the stairs while furniture is coming down. A terrace hall does not have room for a crew and a game at the same time. If you are changing schools in Heywood, Milnrow, Littleborough or elsewhere in the borough, confirm uniform, the start date and the route in the week before, not on the night you arrive.

Frequently asked questions

Should children be in the house while you load?

If you can, have them with another adult away from the stairs and the open van. A loading path is not a safe place to play.

What goes in their first-night bag?

Pyjamas, a favourite toy, wash kit, any medicine, and school clothes if the next day is a school day.
